Marta's Monterosa Blog

I am passionate about the Alps. They are my heart's home and the place where I would like to spend the last day of my life. I have been a tourist in the village of Champoluc in the Italian Monterosa for all my life and worked as a tourist operator in this area since more than 15 years.

I believe in respect for the special environment of this place that you can find only here. We all gain by enjoying its beauty, while trying to make a minimum impact at the same time. Leave it for our children in the future!

I believe in respect for people who live here with their traditions and culture, language, and work, their genuine products and delicious wines. They open their homes for us, tourists and meet us as their guests, if we are able to open our hearts for them. I have a friend who is a hotel owner and he says that when stressed people from the city come to his place, he tells them to sit down and take a drink before they even begin to worry if they have a room. Perhaps, we can bring a little of their kindness and calmness with us on our way back to the city.

My philosophy is to give back a little of what the mountains and the people from this place have given to me and to my family through my work, to communicate my philosophy and my passion to those who follow me on the blog, and in my trips as a tour operator.

If you would like to visit Champoluc, Gressoney, Alagna or other villages in the Aosta Valley, trek or ski in the Monterosa, discover Sardinia or other places we offer, contact us.

Limone Piemonte Alpine Pearls

The "Alpine Pearls" celebrates 10 years this year. If you do not know the network, check it out! It is a fantastic initiative for all those who would like to spent their holidays more sustainably and environmentally friendly.

At the end of January 2006 17 villages joined the “Pearls of the Alps” network. The Alpine Pearls Association has resulted from EU projects and today unites 25 communities in several countries: Italy, Germany, France, Austria, Slovenia, and Switzerland. The project aims at creating and promoting innovative, sustainable tourism packages to protect the environment.

Among communities in the network there are both more and less known resorts, but all of them in one of the most spectacular mountain regions in Europe. To join the network all “Pearls” needed to prepared packages of a stress- carefree holiday, and above all – environmentally friendly. It means reduced traffic in town centres, convenient, more ecological transfer services, and genuine recreational activities.
